It's perhaps a stupid question (I'm alsmost sure it is ) But besides the described software in Quickstart what do I need to install for the PVR-250 and the X-card, before I install GB-PVR (want to do it as right as possible this time )

cheers, arttext

Enable Live Preview , bypass encoder for 0 delay and fast channel change
This will bypass the decoder and result in a 0 sec image delay as well as faster chanel change. Very useful if you plan to hook up your gameconsole.

Note : Live preview won’t work with all driver version, most of the 1,7 version work and some of the 1,6 just. There are to many drivers to list every driver here, so just test it and see if it works.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hauppauge\hcwTVWnd]

"LivePreview"=dword:00000001 (1 for on, 0 for off)







TV-out only on PVR 350 / Disable Software Mpeg decoding
Useful if you only watch the pvr’s output on a tv connected to the pvr 350. This will save some cpu time.

You get only output on the tv-out from the 350, the wintv2k window will stay black, no overlay activated so

You can play another video file using overlay with a different mediaplayer. (great for background recording,

Especially if minimize wintv2k)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hauppauge\hcwTVWnd]
"TV_Out_PlayLocal"=dword:00000000

Is there a Radio plugin for the PVR250 or PVR350?

Thanks;

When the gbpvr.exe process has been running for some time the logfile filles the harddrive. Is there anyway to turn the logging of, or at least, make it log less. Regards tonjac

This plugin has been working fine until I updated .Net V1.1 with the SP1 update from the MS site.  

When trying to Restart or Shut down I have been getting the message < Errorrivilege not held>  Clicking OK gets me back to the main menu but the Restart/Shutdown features are broken.  I then uninstalled and reinstalled .Net V1.1 and both features worked OK.  So there seems to be be one of the fixes in SP1 that is breaking the Restart/Shutdown features.

Config: WinXP Pro/SP2

If I was to record a TV Show on one system would I be able to watch that same Show on another system on the same network?

Does the show need to be downloaded to the second system or does it stream?

Here are the TV Cards that are on my list.

AVerMedia 550
Hauppauge PVR250 MCE
PVR2000

The first two are my top choices. The AVerMedia 550 costs about $110 the PVR250 is about $99 the PVR2000 is about $150. All have the built-in Radio which I like.

I am still waiting on additional info on the AVerMedia 550 Chip but the thing I like is the V-Sharp technology for video capturing. I don't see this for the PVR250 and PVR2000.

The Hauppauge PVR250 is tried and true people say it has good capture quality and it will work. I was thing about the PVR350 but it’s pricey and sounds like it’s buggy. If someone could give me a compelling argument about quality I will thing about the PVR350

The PVR2000 is at the top of my price range some comments on this board say it's very good but I don't know anything about it.

I am looking for quality recording with the radio feature at a good price.

Please try to be specific with your comments.

A bit about the system I am putting together:
Motherboard: EPIA M9000
HD: 40Gb 7200
RAM:256MB
CD: 4x DVD+/- RW
Remote: Niveus Media PC Remote.
Case: Custom case made from an old VCR
The Via EPIA M9000 has Composite and Svideo out - 5.1 audio out with an on board MPEG 2 decoder.

Any Suggestions?

Just purchased and set up the system this weekend, software is great!  Excellent job!

The problem I am having is that if I leave the MVP on OR in "Suspend Mode" (after hitting power button on MVP remote) for 1-3 hours or more it either reboots itself or hangs.  Sometimes it is just a black screen, sometimes it is the "Loading Application" screen.  Anyone else have this problem?

Here is my setup:

- WinTV-PVR 250 on the PC
- MediaMVP connected to the TV
- Latest release of GBPVR (as of Sep 5, 2004)

When I run the latest Beta for MVP everything works fine, but when I switch to the GBPVR server then I experience the problems above on the MVP.

It seems as though the Hauppauge server software communicates with the MVP randomly to keep it up and running, but GBPVR does not.

Anyway, any suggestions?  Thanks!

I may be crazy, but I am almost sure that I read someone else having this problem recently, but 2 hours of looking in various forums gives me no joy.

My new wintv 250 works just fine with the (not so nice) wintv 2000 software, but I get "scrambled" looking video from gbpvr, sage, and btv. Audio is fine on all counts.

What stupid thing am I doing wrong?

hello,

despite having only really downloaded gbpvr for the jukebox plugin, which I love by the way.

I have now got a pvr350 and an mvp and my first recording was a great success (i have even edited the commercials out!! thanks sub for all your work and patience with all the questions you get from us all.

But my latest question Is it possible to either rename the recording quality settings or add new ones in addition to custom1 and custom2

I'd like to be able to have settings called vcd,svcd,dvd, dvd long etc etc

I had a look in congig.xml and the database but couldn't see anything obvious

thanks again
